Turn off your stopcock immediately

Before you do anything else, find your internal stopcock and turn it clockwise until it stops. Usually, you'll find this under the kitchen sink or tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs. This simple move cuts off the water entering your house and is the single best way to prevent further damage while you wait for us to arrive. Once that's done, give us a bell. We know the Northwich area like the back of our hand, from the town centre out to Weaverham and Hartford, so we won't be long getting to you.

Trust our WIAPS approved specialists

While most people's first thought is to call a general plumber, water mains and supply pipes often require a specialist touch. We are WIAPS (Water Industry Approved Plumbers' Scheme) approved, which means we're certified to work on the private supply pipes that connect your home to the water authority's network. This accreditation gives you the peace of mind that all our work meets strict water regulation standards. Whether it's a simple repair or a full MDPE pipe installation, we've got the tools and the training to do it right the first time.

Detect leaks without digging up the drive

Have you noticed your water pressure has suddenly dropped to a trickle? Or perhaps you've spotted a mysterious pooling of water on your driveway even when it hasn't rained for days? These are often the tell-tale signs of a leak in your external main. We use 'trace and access' technology to pinpoint exactly where the problem is located without turning your garden into a building site. Whenever possible, we use trenchless or 'no-dig' solutions to fix or replace pipes, meaning less mess and a much faster turnaround for you.

Upgrade your old lead pipes

Many older properties across Cheshire still rely on original lead water pipes. Over time, these can become brittle, leading to frequent bursts, and they can also affect the quality of your drinking water. We specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that old, unreliable metal for modern, durable MDPE (medium-density polyethylene) piping. It's a fantastic way to improve your water flow and ensure your family has a safe, clean supply for years to come. Most homeowners find that upgrading their supply pipe actually adds value and peace of mind to their property.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our burst pipe repair and drainage services in Cheshire

What should I do if I have a burst pipe emergency?

+

The very first thing you should do is turn off your stop tap to stop more water from escaping. This is usually found under the kitchen sink or where the water pipe enters your home. Once the water is off, give us a call. As local drainage experts, we can get to you quickly to start the pipe fixing process and stop the leak from causing more damage to your property.

How can I tell if my water main is leaking underground?

+

You might notice a sudden drop in water pressure, or you could see a damp patch on your lawn or driveway even when the weather has been dry. Sometimes you might even hear the sound of running water when all your taps are turned off. We use specialist water leak detection equipment to find the exact spot of the leak, so we only have to dig where it is absolutely necessary.

Is a leaking water main my responsibility to fix?

+

Generally, you are responsible for the water supply pipe that runs from the boundary of your property up to your house. The water company usually looks after the pipes in the road. If the leak is on your land, you will need a WIAPS approved plumber to carry out the repair. We can help you work out exactly where the leak is and tell you who is responsible for the bill.

Why should I choose a WIAPS approved plumber for Cheshire East plumbing repairs?

+

Being WIAPS approved means we are recognised by the water industry as being fully qualified to work on your supply pipes. It shows we follow all the legal regulations for water fittings. Using an approved plumber often makes it easier to get your new water connection signed off by the local water authority, such as United Utilities.

Can you help with lead pipe replacement to improve my water pressure?

+

Yes, we do this frequently across Macclesfield. Old lead pipes are often much narrower than modern ones and can get scaled up over time, which kills your water pressure. Replacing them with modern plastic piping is a great way to boost the flow in your home. It is also much better for your health, as it removes the risk of lead traces getting into your drinking water.

How much does burst supply pipe repair cost?

+

The cost depends on where the leak is and how deep the pipe is buried. We always provide a clear, upfront quote after we have assessed the situation. Because we use modern leak detection and no-dig technology where possible, we often keep the costs much lower than traditional companies who might want to dig up your whole garden.
